6 Hour Game Jam

Create a game concept in 6 hours!

"Wait what...? only 6 hours? I can't make a game in 6 hours, even 48 hours is usually cutting it close for even a simple game."
#6HourGameJam is not about creating a normal jam game, this is about creating a concept or single mechanic.
Most importantly #6HourGameJam is to learn and stretch yourself!

Examples:

A programmer could make a fun but simple working prototype using colored boxes.

An artist could create scenes, and develop characters for a brand new game world.

A musician could compose tracks or theme music based on the jam theme.

A designer could sketch storyboards, and write character backstories/dialogue.

Is this a competition?

No, just for fun.

Who can participate, and how?

Anyone in the whole world! Just submit your game by the deadline (TBA)

Okay, what are the rules?

Everyone starts when the theme is unveiled at 1pm. there will be one theme selected from the list, everyone will use the same theme.

Work solo on your game, no teams. -Wait!! I can't program!This is about exploring a concept - if you only do art, come up with an idea, draw some characters / backgrounds/ design a few levels and write a bit about how your game would work.

No existing/premade assets. (feel free to add those post-jam, but not in the version you submit!)

You own your game, you just give #6HourGameJam the right to keep it on our site.

You are free to make post-jam versions, make money etc You own your game.
